Add All Users in a Group as Delegates
This gives all users in a group to read/write or read permission to a user’s iCal Server calendars without having to enter each individually in iCal Account Preferences. This must be done for once each new user but is dynamic as far as group membership is concerned. Incredible time saver and central management tool.
In Terminal on the server type the following for each user.
sudo calendarserver_manage_principals –add-read-proxy=groups:[groupname] users:[username]
or
sudo calendarserver_manage_principals –add-write-proxy=groups:[groupname] users:[username]
